A LABOUR government would ensure that Britain’s patron saints’ days are celebrated as national holidays. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced the plan to give workers a well-deserved break on Saturday.

Under the plan, it would mean there would be public holidays on St David’s Day (March 1), St Patrick’s Day (March 17), St George’s Day (April 23) and St Andrew’s Day (November 30).

“The four nations that make up our great country have rarely been more divided due to the damaging and divisive policies of this Conservative government,” Mr Corbyn said.
